Limits the number of hours certain public employees can work

This bill (S 6625) limits municipal public employees in New York to a maximum 17-hour workday, directly affecting workers for cities, towns, and other local government entities. It amends existing law to set this daily cap, with exceptions only for agreements made through collective bargaining. The bill clarifies that overtime pay earned under this rule counts toward retirement benefits but does not count toward salary increases, promotions, or length-of-service raises. It applies to all public employees covered by municipal employment rules, effective 30 days after enactment.
